After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival. Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment. Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities. Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience. Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game. Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them? [2K Games]…Expand

While Bioshock doesn't necessarily do anything remarkably new once looked at from afar, what it does achieve is a literal masterpiece of all the elements presented. Most shocking of all is the deep customizable weapon system which gives it an almost RPG feel.

The first-person shooter's great looking, has an engrossing storyline, a perfect balance of action and exploration and a totally customizable combat system that can be described as nothing less than video game rapture.

There is art here, despite what many would say isn't possible with games, from Roger Ebert to game designers like Hideo Kojima...BioShock stands as a monolithic example of the convergence of entertaining gameplay and an irresistibly sinister, engrossing storyline that encompasses a host of multifaceted characters. This is an essential gaming experience.

Bioshock leaves you to figure things out for yourself. It's a gruelling game of resource management, and as the ammunition dries up, you end up having to improvise. And more often than not, Bioshock will reward you heavily for thinking outside the box.

If only the mechanics matched the atmosphere. If only Rapture was a less linear world to move through. If only BioShock was the wholly brilliant experience you know, from your moments within it, it could have been.[Oct 2007, p.88]

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
The best of the franchise. Bioshock 1, without a doubt, is probably the best game I’ve played underwater. Great gameplay, fun interactions, gives you the chills, and sometimes can be very frightening with the great atmosphere. You play as a character who doesn’t talk one in the game and you either have the option to kill or revive (forgot what they are called) girls (it not as weird as that sounds). If you do kill them you get extra (whatever that stuff was called) and if you don’t kill them you get less (of that stuff). SPOILER: Whatever you do with them does effect the story outcome-END OF SPOILERS.

Just to help you avoid the spoiler above, I stated a new paragraph. Anyway, tons of tons of killing that will make you tired but I’ve never been bored of this game. I kept going and going to see what happens. The games does have a boss battle that is rather easy and dumb. Im going out of order here but when you play there are people talking to you, the bad guy, good guy, and other guys that persuade you into their judgement but ignore that do what you want to do. The story is quite unpredictable which kind of makes the game a lot of fun and makes things crazy.…Expand

Not as big a fan of gaming as some friends of mine, I still love the escapism and design of a good video game. So it reeaaally takes somethingNot as big a fan of gaming as some friends of mine, I still love the escapism and design of a good video game. So it reeaaally takes something pretty special to catch my attention. Enter 'BioShock'. With a highly detailed, 1950's art deco design, and a movie like immersive quality, this is one rare and beautiful piece of design, with influences of 'Lost' & 'The Shining' to name a few.

Hyped for months, and deservedly so, it's already been recommended to me several times, and the demo only appeared this week alone. Great design, with a pretty gripping story too. Get some wallpapers and other items, as well as a flavour of the 50's style in this posts title. Try it if you can, the price of admission alone, is worth every penny, if even for just the 20 odd minutes worth of movie like introduction alone. You'll be shocked how good this is...…Expand
